Proper Use of a DPV

Most divers that use a DPV take them to dive sites of which they know will take them a long time to swim to. A cave like Song Hong, which is now explored to 180 meters, is a great cave to take the scooters to. You can get to the depths fast enough and back, relaxing on the way up. Or to explore some areas that no one has been to, thus unknown distances.Blue Label Diving has several DPV’s for rent if you are a DPV Cave Diver if you would like to take them for a spin.
